Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Just as mad as it always has been, but we are now more aware of the madness due to the media and internet.

for once i concur

I think Europe's madder and it's going to get madder still.

Self-perception is a marvellous thing.

Manuel,

Now, you are beginning to worry me.

RE - Just as mad as it always has been

No

you did not hear so many atrocities in one day or weeks, two years ago though the internet and TV
has been around much much longer than that.

Haystack , who cares ..

And Fred what the f..k has that got to do with what is going on in Europe ?
You just don't want to admit there is a problem .

Fred

Your post was British accidents on sporadic times and when IRA was active, my idea was World wide and happening
almost every day and done by ordinary people

Fred forgot the Battle of Hastings 1066 .

After the French murder of the church's priest, is the Pope going to ask for a Crusade against Islam?

Mentor,

Check the World figures as well.

Start with America from 1900.

Due to so many attacks going on in Europe daily , Fred has taken to looking at figures of attacks world wide (committed by anyone) since 1900 to deflect what's happening ,i suppose it's something you don't want to admit .
And you call me dumbo Jeez !

Here use this to sweep it under the carpet

Jeremy Corbyn would lose 44 seats for Labour, new polling suggests

Although Labour leads among 18 to 34-year-olds, the Conservatives hold a big advantage among over-35s, and are a staggering 35 points ahead of Labour with pensioners.

So what? There won't be a general election until 2020. Despite the gap, labour has somehow managed to maintain itself in by-elections.

There could well be an election sooner if the polls continue in this manner.
